Meditation Exercise: Meditating on a Raindrop

This is a really nice, simple, and yet very calming meditation exercise that can just be 2 minutes, or extended several minutes more when you really enjoy it. I like it very much! Especially when I have the sound of a waterfall or sound of a fountain nearby, but this is not necessary.

Close your eyes.

Imagine a gentle rain falling on top of your head with each droplet a bright golden color.

Allow your brain to receive and guide each golden droplet of water into each and every cell of your body, starting with your eyes, forehead, cheeks, nose, ears, and whole face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, back, abdomen, pelvis, thighs, calves and feet.

Do this exercise for 2 mins or longer if you have time. This particular meditation is so relaxing, that it can be done at night to help you sleep easily, deeply, and feel rested when you awake. It’s also great to visualize the golden droplets before a power nap of 10 to 15 minutes.​​​
